It's a fitness plan so simple it's stunning. So simple, in fact, it's disguised as a guide book. Fun on Foot
resonated with me instantly. … While I love city guide books, there can be a sort of smug superiority in that
type of production. Fun on Foot, on the other hand, is very accessible and friendly, as well as informative. In
a very real way, Fun on Foot is a guide book, but it's also much more.

Travelers who enjoy exercising and would love to tour Washington DC can now do both with a exciting new
guide book called: Fun On Foot in America's Cities. What we found most enjoyable about the new guide is
the handy tips such as which Washington DC neighborhoods are best for walking, average temperatures, a
map to plan your route, and what to look out for along the way.

want to stay fit while away from home.

It’s an easy read, but also very informative and entertaining with over 64 maps and 125 photographs. It is a
great choice for any exercise enthusiast (like me! . . . hint, hint) on your list this holiday season.

Ever been in an unfamiliar metropolitan area and felt the urge to walk or jog off a meal or just stretch after a
plane flight? Fun on Foot in America's Cities … can help you find a safe and scenic route in big cities.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
While city life presents the most unique challenge to outdoor exercise, Fun On Foot in America’s Cities
provides fifty interesting walking/running/inline-skating routes in fourteen metropolitan areas. Business
travelers especially will make good use of this book.
ForeWord Magazine
Fun on Foot in America's Cities is ideal for business travelers, avid runners, active vacationers, and anyone
who likes to explore the urban outdoors. Most routes are 6 to 10 miles, which at first blush might intimidate
novices, but the routes are so well chosen, and the Fords' enthusiasm and expertise so infectious, that
when you reach the end you'll want to start all over again.

"Fun on Foot" is a new tome designed to help exercisers stick to their fitness program while away from
home on business or on vacation. Authors Nola and Warwick Ford mapped out 50 "irresistible" running
routes in 14 major U.S. cities, using the criteria of comfort, convenience, attractions and a worthwhile
destination.
New Jersey Star-Ledger
I like the casual attitude and other readers should also enjoy this easiness. The history lessons are very
informative and a great addition for runners to ponder on when moving on foot around the area. The running
routes provide runners with an interesting selection of city, water, forest, and historic parkland venues.
Runners like choices and the variety of routes will keep the boredom away. The route maps with supporting
mass transit information will put runners at ease and it gives a good feeling of added security for individuals
new to the area.
Harry Greco, runner for 40 years and frequent traveler, Boston
I like the approach of appealing to the reader’s sense of and desire to have “fun.” I also like the four
attributes used to evaluate a run. With respect to Chapter 10 on “Big D”, it hits the nail on the head: lots of
shopping, friendly people, and crazy traffic. The running routes described are great for locals or visitors!
Steven Cox, running addict and eight-time Marine Corps Marathon finisher, Dallas
As a runner I found the whole concept to be an especially appealing one. I lived on the Upper East Side for
about seven years so I am quite familiar with the Manhattan routes outlined, although I had never thought of
doing both bridges in one run! Also, in all the time I was there I never really saw all that much of Brooklyn, so
at some point I will be sure to try out the two routes the authors have come up with. Basically, I found the
book very enjoyable to read.
Allen Volchuk, Assistant Professor of Biochemistry, Toronto, and avid runner; formerly of New York
The concept of the book is wonderful. I especially liked how it stressed providing some sort of reward for
each of the runs/walks. Having a carrot at the end of the stick helps me to keep going on the long runs, and
brunch or a cold beer always does the trick. The description of the weather conditions from the Wharf to the
Beach Chalet was perfect.
Ric Bremer, San Francisco
Wow, what an accurate and informative description of our great city. I learned a bit of history and was also
reminded of two pubs we must visit. The three routes picked are excellent and the detail of the descriptions
is excellent. Great work!
